rived from London to-day, brought the last
news from the yachts Coronet and Daunt-
less. The yachts were seen on Sunday
night, go miles east of the Sandy Hook
lightship, by the second officer OF the Erin,
who was then on duty. The Captain was
not informed of the burning of any sig
nails but flare signals, but these were shown
in such way that the officer was sure that
they were not shown by pilots. The night
was clear, and the wind at the time was
east-northeast and blowing strong. The
schooners were heading east by south.
This fact alone attracted the attention of
the officer on duty, for he said it was two
points nearer the wind than he had ever
seen pilot boats steer. The yachts were
then close together, and both going along
under all the sail they could carry.
